It would work because it is the superdelegates duty to prevent a populist candidate who doesn't deserve the nomination. They have that power to overturn the election for just this reason. It is the party's bottom line to get a democrat in office, it will probably become more clear over the coming weeks in the mainstreme media that Obama is not a good candidate for the party. That Hillary is electable and Obama isn't. The Republicans will ruin Obama as it becomes closer to the general election. Think of this... Obama keeps saying "Change" his whole campaign is based on change and charisma. But McCain can EASILY point out that he is change too! He isn't Bush either! And that experience is more important than charisma. Obama won't be able to carry the correct swing states. It is for these political reasons, democrats will want to attach themselves to the winner, and the "superdelagate surprise" will take place. It's not "fairy princess thinking" whatever that implies, its how politics actually work. She's more connected to the superdelegates than Obama is, she knows them better and can grant them better favors because she knows what she is doing, actually. And if you read my original post carefully and between the lines maybe, you'll see that Clinton holds the political capital despite prior media portrayal (which is changing in her favor now according to media analysis company Media Tenor), not Obama. Its this capitol that will lead to her nomination and I would place a bet on her presidency.
